(I didnt downvote you,what's up with people downvoting for the sake of it?)
There are weaker software patent laws in Europe,they exist but are very limited.
On the other hand Taxes are generaly higher,employement cost is higher and VC funding is close to non existant.But you might get financed by public money(with strings attached and a lot of paperwork ) So it's a trade-off.
From a pure "capitalistic" perspective the situation is better for startups in USA in the west coast.And since Europe is not really a country,it's harder to reach all European markets(different languages,cultures,fiscal policies,laws...).In USA everybody talks English.
